WRONG WAR?: More than 65 Orange County firefighters are battling forest fires in Northern California. . . . The duty is not without its lighter moments, especially with a tense Middle East situation on everyone’s minds, said Division Chief Richard Witesman of the County Fire Department. . . . “We put three captains on a plane to Fort Carson, Colo. to help train the military on fighting fires. . . .
